Milan and UNICEF partner to help South Sudanese children – the incredible story of a tattered shirt
AC Milan have announced a charity project in collaboration with UNICEF in support of children in South Sudan to celebrate their 122nd anniversary.
At the heart of the initiative is the journey of a very special Rossoneri jersey from the 2016-17 season with "Balotelli 45" printed on the back. It was discovered and photographed by Danish war photographer Jan Grarup during a trip to South Sudan to document the effects of the severe floods, which have ravaged the country for years, leaving hundreds of thousands of people homeless and without access to food and clean water.
In the village of Canal on the Nile river, the photographer met a young boy wearing a Milan shirt that – torn due to wear and tear – had evidently been repaired and stitched together on many occasions. Being a Milan fan himself and in admiration of the dedication and passion reflected in a shirt that he dubbed a "work of art", Grarup asked the boy if he could swap his Milan jersey for a new one and subsequently donated it to the club.
The club immediately accepted the donation as a symbol of the belonging, dedication and passion, which unite Rossoneri fans around the globe, in spite of their age or social status. This passion goes beyond the game overcoming any boundary as the Rossoneri seek to build bridges and promote the healthy values of sport that make up the very DNA of the Club.
As such, from today, this special jersey from South Sudan will be put on display in the Mondo Milan museum at Casa Milan in a new exhibition dedicated to the educational and social projects implemented by Fondazione Milan.
Jan Grarup spoke on the initiative: "I am a football fan deep in my heart, and I cannot describe the number of times, I have seen children use football and other games as a distraction from war, famine, disasters, or other catastrophes around the world.
"Therefore, I am enormously pleased to see a huge club like AC Milan becoming part of this project, raising money towards the victims of the escalating climate crisis in South Sudan and the work UNICEF do to help the local population."
As part of this project, AC Milan has worked with My Football Space to create a 3D NFT of this unique and very special AC Milan shirt from South Sudan using a modern and sustainable technology. This emotional digital piece of memorabilia will soon be put on sale, with all proceeds going to charity.

First and foremost, I would like to thank both AC Milan and UNICEF for this great initiative to help children in my Country South Sudan. Children in South Sudan love football with all their hearts but the nature of environment had always discouraged them. I'm one of these children who had passion for football but our environment could not allowed us. FC Barcelona was engraved in my heart and I wanted to play for the team in the future but I got discouraged. In all things being equal, I would like AC Milan and UNICEF to extend this great initiative far and wide to help children who have passion for football but no opportunity, not just only in South Sudan but to my other beloved African countries.
On behalf of children of South Sudan and South Sudan at large, we are grateful

Am really happy for this move
Am a south Sudanese national I wish am part of that group of children and benefits from that project…i will be glad if i get contacted and be part of the amazing story

The Sport of Fox Hunting !!! What is Valour
Have you heard of Beagling and of Ashford Valley Hunt ? Read this Thirukural (no. 772) which speaks of valour.
It means 'it is more valourous to hold the dart that missed an elephant than the one which killed a hare in the forest'.
To most of the Western World, traditional things of other countries are barbaric – 'jallikattu' is no sport. Beagling is the hunting of hares, rabbits, and occasionally foxes with beagles. Beagle is a pack of hounds followed on foot. It is stated that this is enjoyment of hunting by fox hunters who have retired either due to injuries or had lost the agility to ride horse but still want to enjoy hunting.
Fox hunting is a sport – a social ritual. Hounds enter bushy areas where the unsuspecting foxes would lay during daylight. The pack of hounds follow the scent of a fox and terrorise them out – the riders follow with their athletic skills. The fox running for its ife could take refuge in underground burrow or get killed by the hounds or get hunted. Besides hounds, some times terriers are also used to flush or kill foxes that hide in underground as they are small enough to pursue in the narrow earth passages.
Fox hunting is described as an activity of tracking, chasing and sometimes [! !] killing fox - traditionally a red fox, by trained fox hounds or other scent hounds and a group of followers led by a master of foxhounds, who follows on foot or on horseback. Its origin are traced back to 16th century UK and is practised in many parts of the World like Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Russia and USA. In some parts even fire arms are used. The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is a small omnivorous predator, active around twilight, living in burrows. They can run close to 50 kmph. The american cousins tend to be bigger.
The Ashford Valley Hunt is a United Kingdom fox hunt, with hunting country in Kent, England. The hunt was formed in 1873 from the combination of four private harrier packs, which amalgamated under a single master as the Ashford Valley Harriers, hunting predominantly hares but also occasional foxes. After the First World War, the pack began to hunt foxes only and renamed itself the Ashford Valley Foxhounds.
This Sport was banned in Scotland in 2002 and in UK in 2004. Supporters say that it is pat of rural culture and useful for conservation and pest control. For animal welfare groups, this is not a sport but unfair and cruel killing of animals. The chase itself would cause fear and distress and killing is gruesome as the small helpless animals get torn to pieces. They say that animals should also enjoy some basic rights.
The Hunting Act 2004 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The effect of the Act is to outlaw hunting with dogs (particularly fox hunting, but also the hunting of deer, hares and mink and organised hare coursing) in England and Wales from 18 February 2005. That is on record but in 2008, it was reported that record numbers turned out for the Boxing day hunt – the crowd was reported to be more than 300,000. Pro-hunt groups renewed calls to repeal the 2004 Act with signature campaign.

While you have a broad choice of products to try and whiten your smile, only professional teeth whitening can effectively erase stains without harming your teeth. Depending on your scheduling needs, we may suggest an in-office procedure to brighten your smile in just over an hour, or a take home kit that you can apply on your own time. With both systems, you can expect to brighten your smile up to 10 shades or more by the time you've completed the cosmetic treatment!
In-office teeth whitening can be completed during a single visit, usually within just over an hour. It is often recommended for patients who have an upcoming social/business engagement and wish to look their best in a short amount of time. During your appointment, your dentist will apply the bleaching agent to your teeth, then stimulate the gel with a specialized light.
Take-home teeth whitening consists of custom-designed trays and a supply of professional bleaching agent that you take home. The trays allow you to evenly apply the gel to your teeth while simultaneously protecting the bleaching gel from saliva (which could dilute the solution). Take-home teeth whitening usually takes between 10-14 days to produce optimal results.
The kind of teeth whitening system you choose may depend largely on how quickly you wish to brighten your smile. However, teeth whitening treatment is not always preferable or effective, particularly when your teeth's discoloration originates from within your tooth structure.
For most patients, teeth whitening is the best option when your teeth are otherwise clean and healthy (i.e., free of tooth decay), and the stains appear on the outer layer of enamel. For more difficult cases, you may benefit more from cosmetic dental bonding or one or more porcelain veneers.

Greek leader in London calls for return of ancient sculptures

LONDON (AP) – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson held talks with the Greek leader in London on Tuesday amid renewed pressure from Athens for the British Museum to return the marble statues that once stood in the Parthenon .
Johnson said he "understood the strength of the feelings of the Greek people" about the sculptures after Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis raised the issue during the talks. But the British leader stressed that decisions on the matter rest with the British Museum, where the marbles are kept.
"The leaders agreed that this issue in no way affects the strength of the UK-Greece partnership," Johnson's office said.
The marbles – 17 figures and part of a frieze that decorated the 2,500-year-old Acropolis monument – were salvaged from the ancient temple by Lord Elgin, the British Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, in early 19th century. They have been at the center of a long dispute between the two countries.
Britain maintains that Elgin acquired the sculptures legally when Greece was ruled by the Ottomans. The Greek government says they were stolen and wants them returned for display in the new Acropolis Museum which opened in 2009.

Mitsotakis told the British newspaper Daily Telegraph last week that "the marbles were stolen in the 19th century, they belong to the Acropolis museum and we need to discuss this issue seriously."
Earlier Tuesday, Johnson's spokesperson stressed that the British Museum operates at arm's length from government and is free from political interference.
"All decisions relating to the collections are made by the museum administrators and any questions about the location of the Parthenon sculptures are up to them," he said.
The British Museum said on its website that Elgin's actions were "thoroughly examined by a special parliamentary committee in 1816 and found to be entirely legal, before the sculptures entered the British Museum's collection by a Act of Parliament ".
Museum administrators added that they "firmly believe that there is a positive and a public benefit in dividing the sculptures between two large museums, each telling a complementary but different story."

Q: Organizing uploaded Media in permalink-based folder structure? Wordpress seems to like storing files by year/month. This is nice, but not good enough for busy websites with loads of content. It'll be much nicer to have the folders reflect the exact same structure as the permalinks for them:
/wp-content/uploads/custom-post-type/category/postname-1.jpg
/wp-content/uploads/books/fiction/the-nun-1.jpg
/wp-content/uploads/books/romance/the-italian-spring.jpg

And so on. Is it possible to do this with some simple customized function in functions.php, or via some plugin?
Thanks for any pointers.

A: There is another thread discussing this, with multiple answers.  You might check to see if they address your desires.  They offer some code, and an available plugin solution.

The City of Flows is connected to global networks. What does this mean for today's cities? How do global networks manifest themselves in everyday life? And how are limited analog spaces reflected in the potentially unlimited realm of the virtual?
Just as industrial society demolished medieval city walls, the information society is transcending geographical limitations. Binary code can create virtual realities, and with them free spaces which stand in contrast to the socio-spatial limits of physical locations. Fewer and fewer specific places are required to fulfil specific functions or provide services. At the same time, life for most city dwellers remains determined by infrastructure and the qualities and barriers of the physical.
How can this encroachment be (co-)influenced – among other by the shapers of the analog city? And during this process, how can different professional practice and perceptions – on the one hand the digital bohemians with their global conferences and publications, on the other hand the municipal experts from city institutions – take a step closer together and become connected?
A mixture of virtual and real combinations will react to increasingly flexible and dynamic modes of living. The nature of this mixture is dependent on the positions and standpoints regarding the city that today are diverse in their contradictions. What can be done to counteract a polarisation of digital and analog living environments? How can digital globetrotters be motivated to relocate their projects, free floating in network environments, in the "flesh and stone" (Sennett) of the cities? What spaces of possibility (linked to the concept of the European city) can be created for the newly emerging modes of living? And by whom?
On-going issues of climate change and ecological urban restructuring are also bringing urban living environments into question. Behavioural changes are necessary and are being tested through neighbourhood projects, integrated mobility concepts and connections between living, work and leisure. New communities of responsibility are emerging which are supported, facilitated and inspired by information and communication technologies. This process is redefining the relationship (which characterises European cities) between public and private life.
Until very recently, urban culture has been determined by buildings and institutions: museums, theatres, concert halls, libraries, academies/universities and socio-cultural centres as well as palaces, parks and churches: all are witnesses to our cultural heritage. Set in stone, the representation as well as the functional responsibility of these outdated institutions are mixed up by the information and network society, then either rejected or re-evaluated. In the informational city, "old" education and cultural institutions such as libraries reflect with particular clarity the structural changes of the digital society.
A city can no longer be governed "from the top down". Municipal policy is now far more characterised by a complex mesh of compromise and cooperation between politics/administration, business and civil society groups. Orderly civic participation and processes suffer repeated "disturbance" due to unpredicted protests, civil initiatives and spontaneous outbursts of indignation. This both confuses procedures and brings into question formalised participation. In either case, information and communication technologies act as important agencies and amplifiers for developments. But do they also contribute something to those intersections that exist between outrage and participation?
Artists (or at least some of them) are leaving the realm of autonomous art where they may be able to achieve radical self-expression, but cannot engage directly with reality in its extremes. For the interventionists, this isn't enough. They are out to improve the world: accomplices of the good life orchestrating unbidden moments in urban spaces.
The conference is organised and conceptualised by the »City-Climate Potsdam« Innovation Institute of the Potsdam University of Applied Sciences in cooperation with Potsdam City Council. The Innovation Institute is an initiative from the Potsdam University of Applied Sciences on the topic of behavioural changes in the time of climate change.
The conference's location is Potsdam's cultural and creative quarter at Schiffbauergasse.
The conference is orientated toward participants with backgrounds in the sciences, culture, administration, local urban develop, business and politics who deal with digital-analog interfaces in our cities.

The Illinois legislature has enacted a law, over the veto of Gov. Bruce Rauner (R), that will strip consumer protections from patients with preexisting conditions, throw them out of their health plans, deny them health care, and expose them to bankruptcy. Naturally, it did so in the name of…helping patients with preexisting conditions.
The new law imposes limits on so-called "short-term" health plans. Federal law exempts short-term plans from ObamaCare's costly and punitive health insurance regulations. As a result, short-term plans allow enrollees to purchase only the coverage they value, frequently cost half as much as ObamaCare plans, and offer broader choice of providers than ObamaCare plans. Thanks to new federal rules, short-term plans can last up to 12 months, be renewed for up to 36 months, and can enable enrollees who fall ill to keep paying low, healthy-person premiums indefinitely, making access to care more secure for the sick. Critics acknowledge the new rules could extend health insurance to 2 million previously uninsured Americans.
That is exactly backward. The new Illinois law does not protect patients with preexisting conditions. It does not outlaw "junk" insurance. It creates junk insurance by taking protections away from short-term plan enrollees and exposing patients with preexisting conditions to denied care and bankruptcy.
Under prior law, short-term plans could provide many Illinois residents with seamless coverage. Residents could purchase short-term plans that could cover them indefinitely, but at least until the next ObamaCare open-enrollment period, at which point they could enroll in an ObamaCare plan without facing medical underwriting or denials of coverage.
The new law outlaws short-term plans that last more than six months. Now, by law, short-term plan enrollees who develop cancer or other expensive illnesses will lose that coverage when their plan reaches the six-month limit. This ban will not affect healthy consumers. When their six-month plans expire, healthy consumers can just wait the required 60 days and purchase a new six-month plan. The ban will instead hurt patients with preexisting conditions–specifically, those who fall ill while enrolled in a short-term plan or during the 60-day waiting period. The new law will throw those patients out of their plans, leaving them with preexisting conditions and no health insurance at all for up to 12 months.
Any Illinois resident who purchases a short-term plan on January 1, 2019 and subsequently gets a cancer diagnosis will lose that coverage on June 29 and face six months of expensive medical bills with no coverage. She will not be able to obtain a new short-term plan, because her cancer will be a preexisting condition. She also will not be able to get coverage through ObamaCare for six months–i.e., until January 1, 2020. Yes, ObamaCare prohibits insurers from denying coverage on the basis of preexisting conditions, but it also generally denies coverage to everyone outside of a six-week open-enrollment period at the end of each year.
The same fate will befall any Illinois resident who gets a cancer diagnosis during the 60-day waiting period. By law, they will face months and months of expensive medical bills with no coverage. They will be unable to purchase another short-term plan, and they will be locked out of ObamaCare.
Had Illinois legislators just done nothing, or even just upheld Rauner's veto, short-term plans could have covered Illinois residents throughout ObamaCare's entire coverage-denial period. Instead, Illinoisans with preexisting conditions will face months and months of expensive medical bills with no coverage at all.
This is perverse. Illinois legislators knew that canceling short-term plans hurts patients with preexisting conditions. We know they knew, because they included a provision in the new law that forbids insurers from canceling short-term plans "before the expiration date in the policy, except in cases of nonpayment of premiums, fraud," or at the option of the enrollee. And yet the legislature will now rescind short-term plans from patients with preexisting conditions within six months of their diagnosis, no matter how much human suffering it may cause.
Supporters claim that crippling short-term plans is necessary to protect patients with preexisting conditions. If short-term plans offer lower-cost coverage to healthy consumers, they argue, healthy consumers will flee ObamaCare plans. ObamaCare premiums would then rise to the point of threatening ObamaCare's economic and/or political viability, thereby threatening access to care for patients with preexisting conditions currently enrolled in ObamaCare plans. Among the many flaws in this argument is the fact that short-term plans can actually reduce ObamaCare premiums by keeping expensive patients out of ObamaCare's risk pools. The new federal rules allow short-term plan enrollees to purchase "renewal guarantees" that give them the right to keep purchasing short-term plans at low, healthy-person premiums even after they develop expensive medical conditions. Short-term plans can thus reduce ObamaCare premiums by keeping expensive patients out of those risk pools, just as the pre-ObamaCare individual market kept many expensive patients out of state high-risk pools. The presumed harms that more flexible short-term plans could inflict on patients with preexising conditions in ObamaCare plans are attenuated and uncertain. The harms that the Illinois law will inflict on patients with preexisting conditions who are enrolled in short-term plans are definite, immediate, and concrete.
There is no way to dress up laws restricting short-term plans as anything other than government rationing of care to the sick. The activists and politicians who supported this law are not patient advocates. They are callous ideologues who are willing to deny care to sick patients for the sake of protecting ObamaCare.
The Trump administration has announced it is suspending so-called "risk adjustment" payments to insurers who participate in ObamaCare's Exchanges, and cutting spending on so-called "navigators," who help (few) people enroll in ObamaCare plans.
The Washington Post's Catherine Rampell and other ObamaCare supporters are calling these steps sabotage. In fact, what these steps will do is make the costs of ObamaCare's supposedly popular preexisting-conditions provisions more transparent.
ObamaCare's so-called "risk adjustment" program exists to funnel money to insurers who enroll lots of sick people who cost more in claims than they pay in premiums. Without it, insurers probably wouldn't participate in ObamaCare. We may therefore confidently describe the risk-adjustment program as a bailout designed to rescue insurers from the costs of ObamaCare's preexisting-conditions provisions.
The risk-adjustment program does a better job of protecting insurance companies than sick patients. Those preexisting-conditions provisions literally punish insurers for offering coverage that the sick find attractive. They therefore create powerful financial incentives for insurers to make their offerings unattractive to the sick.
The risk-adjustment program is supposed to counteract those incentives. Anecdotal evidence and empirical research both show it's not working. The risk-adjustment program is failing to counteract the perverse incentives that ObamaCare itself creates. ObamaCare coverage is therefore getting worse for many sick patients. Don't worry, the insurance companies come out okay. Insurers can mitigate whatever losses the bailouts don't cover with even more restrictive benefit designs to keep the sick away. Sick patients fare less well.
Reducing or eliminating spending on the risk-adjustment program would reveal more of the harms of the preexisting-conditions provisions. More of the cost would fall on insurers, who would respond by offering even more restrictive coverage, or exiting the market. More such transparency might finally push Congress to repeal those provisions and put health care for the sick on a more stable footing.
In February, a federal district court in New Mexico ordered the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to cease using its methodology for making risk-adjustment payments until the agency adequately explains that methodology. On July 7, the agency announced it will not make any risk-adjustment payments until the issue is resolved.
The insurers will eventually get their bailouts. But the delay will cost them money and add uncertainty to the process. Those effects in turn may lead insurers to take even greater steps to protect themselves from the costs of the preexisting-conditions provisions—thereby making those costs more transparent.
ObamaCare authorizes CMS to make grants to "navigators"—i.e., groups who are supposed to help people enroll in ObamaCare plans. They are a waste of taxpayer money, and likewise hide the costs of ObamaCare's preexisting-conditions provisions.
The navigator program also hides the cost of ObamaCare's preexisting-conditions provisions. Since the sick will reliably enroll in ObamaCare even without navigators, those whom navigators end up enrolling are going to be disproportionately healthy. Thus navigators are also helping to hide the costs of those provisions by spreading the costs across more (healthy) people. Cutting spending on navigators will likewise reveal more of the costs of those provisions.
The Trump administration announced it is cutting spending on navigators to $10 million for plan year 2019. It should eliminate the program entirely. The less the federal government spends on navigators, the more transparent ObamaCare's costs will be.
When ObamaCare supporters complain about such steps, they are describing transparency as sabotage. Think about what that means.

TESCO is taking part in Black Friday this year - with major savings available.
Although, seeing as Tesco Direct is now in the rear-view, we are expecting the bulk of their best offers to be in store this year.
Last time around, the retail giant focused its price-cutting efforts on tech products, with TVs, soundbars and Dyson vacuum cleaners all seeing a price drop on Black Friday.
And we wouldn't be surprised if there was a similar slate of offers available on November 23.
You can find your nearest Tesco branch by using their store locator here.
We recommend checking out the larger stores on the day as they're more likely to have a big selection of deals.
What's in Tesco's Black Friday sale?
You can check out Tesco's latest online offers here.
One of the supermarket giant's headline-grabbing offers was a Xbox One S with TWO controllers for £159.
The deal was sadly available only in-store, rather than online.

FORGE WAS WRONG!!!
Games Halo Wars Series
Zusez34268 July 10, 2017, 4:57pm #1
In the end of Halo wars Sgt. Forge said, "Son, i have a feeling we'll need every last spartan in the fight, I can do this, Report back to the ship." But we didnt need every last spartan in the fight. Douglas was out of the fight for more then half of the time on the Ark. Jerome could have died and we could have kept our Sgt.
Naqser July 10, 2017, 5:13pm #2
Douglas being out of the fight doesn't mean he wasn't needed.
Even then, every Spartan available at those times were used.
Furthermore, from a logical standpoint it'd be an idiotic waste to sacrifice a Spartan with armor and all what other things a spartan can bring to the table and keep a sort of exceptional marine.
AlPhAcEnTuRiOn2 July 10, 2017, 5:32pm #3
Humanity ONLY won because the Great Schism shock the Covenant apart. If that event never happened Humanity would of become extinct and ultimately the whole galaxy. You over analysing what he said. Forge didn't mean it quite literally but as other people have said why would you sacrifice a super soldier that could help stem the Covenant genocide.
Zusez34268 July 11, 2017, 3:11am #4
Lol i know, i was just making fun of that stuff… but i was kinda upset he was out of the game for a while… And yes, Forge was right because a Spartan II super solder is way better then a regular marine. I just thought it would be funny to see some responses.
NativeSheep July 11, 2017, 4:10am #5
I bet he wouldn't have said that if he had a glimpse of all the Spartan IV's, but in a way he was right. The Spartan IV program would have never happened if it were not for the II's and III's awesome stories and actions.
Thats true. but at the time, the war was going badly. Humanity would have lost if it were not for the events in halo 2. the spartan IV program was able to take off after the war… so yeah, if he would have known about them then why would he have given his life for the ship? lol its all a part of a heros tale


"Hiking Spree 2013" kicked off today at the Highlands Center for Natural History with a 1.6 mile warmup hike. By hiking 8 of this year's 12 trails, one can again purchase a specially designed medallion. The Lynx Spillway Trail is an easy loop that starts at an elevation of 5,550 feet and has a high point at 5,660 feet. We started on trail #443 for 0.1 miles, then trail #305 for 0.2 miles, then trail #442 for 0.3 miles along Elderberry Creek, followed by 0.3 miles on trail #445 above Lynx Creek, then 0.1 miles on trail #401 with a view of Lynx Lake before crossing the road and returning 0.3 miles on trail #305, and finally the last 0.1 miles on trail #443 to the Highlands Center and a continental breakfast. We look forward to selecting other trails through December 3rd for this year's "Take a Hike" program.
The Prescott Legacy Trail is part of the Prescott Circle Trail and the northern most trail within Pioneer Park. It was completed in 2000 by youth from the Yavapai County Juvenile Community Services Program, "Probation Works in Arizona." Youth learned trail construction techniques while leaving behind a "legacy" for future generations. We enjoyed long range views of Thumb Butte, Granite Mountain, the San Francisco Peaks, and Glassford Hill. We only encountered one mountain biker. We plan to return to Pioneer Park to explore other trails.
Prescott's newest trail has several components: the Stairway Loop, Castle Rock Trail, the Rock Stacker Trail, and the Groot Trail. We explored each segment traveling counter-clockwise. The Grotto Trail has a narrow passageway through granite boulders. The Rock Stacker Trail has nice views of Castle Rock. The Castle Rock Trail overlooks a dam and waterfall. A bench honoring 80-year-old Over the Hill Gang volunteer Jim Lohay is located at the intersection for this small loop. The Stairway Loop features an impressive steep staircase with two dozen steps. The Granite Gardens Trails are only about 1.15 miles in length with a low elevation of 5,040 feet and a high elevation of 5,150 feet. The City of Prescott purchased the 35 acres that these trails sit on in 2008. The refrain, "Go outside and play," is appropriate for this scenic segment of the Granite Dells.
Many of the wildflowers in bloom on the Granite Gardens Trail are also blooming in our yard. On Labor Day I identified the following wildflowers in our yard: New Mexico fleabane, bidbill dayflower, Transpecos morning-glory, ivyleaf morning-glory, bearlip pensetemon, Missouri goldenrod, smooth spreading four o'clock, slimleaf plainsmustard, sweet four o'clock, butter & eggs, I had difficulty identifying two other yellow flowers and one dainty white. This monsoon season has encouraged lots of green growth.
This past Saturday I donned my Hawaiian shirt as we headed to the fourth annual Labor Day Luau on Goodwin and Granite streets at the Firehouse Plaza in downtown Prescott. We found outdoor seating on the upper floor of the Firehouse Kitchen. From our perch we observed volleyball teams competing on the sand beach on Goodwin Street. The proceeds for this year's event were to go to the Prescott Fire Fighters Charities, Camp Courage Burn Camp, and the Yavapai Juniors Volleyball Club. The Pandemonium Steel Drum Band was positioning itself to set the mood but weren't putting out much sound when we left this area to walk around the Yavapai Courthouse where artisans and food stands were set up for the long weekend. Prescott was a great place to spend the last weekend of summer.

What's new on central Iowa trails for 2022
by: Mike Borland
Posted: Mar 15, 2022 / 09:56 AM CDT
Updated: Mar 15, 2022 / 12:42 PM CDT
DES MOINES, Iowa – With the arrival of spring break and warmer temps, trails in central Iowa are starting their busy season already.
What's new in 2022 for those trail users? A lot.
Let's start with a new trail and the first step to connecting Lake Red Rock's Volksweg Trail to the Des Moines Metro. While that connection is years away, in 2022 Monroe will be connected to Prairie City and the Neal Smith Wildlife Refuge. Jasper County Conservation Director Keri VanZante is excited to bring a "long skinny park", about 10 miles long, to this part of the county. VanZante expects heavy use by walkers and skaters in addition to cyclists because of the lack of good sidewalks in the small communities on the trail. Work will begin in April and finish by the end of summer on the first phase, Monroe to Prairie City, with the second phase running to Mitchellville beginning as soon as funding is in place. VanZante thinks the second phase could start in 2023 or 2024, depending on grants and other fundraising.
In Polk County, work is already underway to replace the bridge over Beaver Creek on the Trestle to Trestle Trail. This bridge replaces one destroyed by ice in 2020. The new bridge comes with a price tag of $2 million and includes an overlook area and other features reminiscent of the original trestle-style bridge. Construction here should be done by fall of 2022. Until then be sure to give the construction crews plenty of space. Watch the progress here.
Polk County is also replacing a tunnel on the Great Western Trail, at Maffitt Lake Road. There's a bypass route in place now and, again, look for this project to finish by fall of 2022.
The fall of 2022 is a theme here. That's also when Dallas County Conservation Director Mike Wallace expects the next phase of the High Trestle Trail Connector to be finished. This phase, about a mile long, connects the trail in place at the western edge of Woodward to the Woodward Trailhead on the north edge of downtown Woodward. Fundraising for the Let's Connect project continues with a new route following Beaver Creek east of Perry instead of following the road there. When the remaining 4 miles is complete a 120-mile loop will be complete, from Perry to Jamaica to Panora to Adel to Waukee to Des Moines then to Pleasant Hill, Ankeny, Slater and Madrid before Woodward and back to Perry.
Warren County has Covid19 Relief Recreational Trail Program money they will use to resurface about 2 miles of the Great Western Trail just south of Cumming. Again, completion by fall of 2022.
In Des Moines there will be work on levees and the Iowa Water Trail project that will affect Carl Voss, the Meredith and the John Pat Dorrian Trails at different times before fall. Reconstruction of about 5000 feet of the Neal Smith Trail, from Euclid north to the Saylor Creek bridge will begin in the spring. This section will be widened to 10' and will include some signage and places to sit for the 500,000 users this section of trail sees every year. Check here before you plan a ride or text DSMTRAILS to 84483 for updates.
Story County Conservation will be upgrading signage on the Heart Of Iowa Nature Trail in 2022.

Our ambitions
Norwich Centre
Norwich School has always worked hard to ensure its important place within the educational and wider community in Norfolk – this Chinese Language Scheme brings us even closer to the community.
The Swire Chinese Language Centre which Norwich School leads in Norfolk is all about strengthening links between China and the UK by enabling schools to teach Chinese – Mandarin. But not just to teach Chinese – but to improve the teaching of Chinese and the reach of Chinese teaching into areas where people don't necessarily have the option to study the language at present.
Norwich School
We are just in our first year of involvement but already we see a strong network of excellence and excitement being created by the scheme. We will have taught in excess of 1000 children of all ages some aspect of the Chinese Language or culture during the last academic year. Already we have a good number involved in HSK and GCSE examinations.
Collaborating with secondary and primary school/academies in Norfolk, we plan with the support of Swire to transform the language learning in the County.
Our five "lofty" ambitions are to:
Ensure we provide high quality teaching
Work to achieve wide social inclusion
Work with pupils to ensure progression and certification
Raise the profile of the Chinese language and culture with lots of enrichment activities
Build a successful Chinese exchange between Norfolk and Shanghai
We are as excited and enthused as our partner schools by this initiative from Swire. We feel our planning is strategic and pro-active and we believe that the hubs we are creating with groups of schools and organisations will ultimately lead to a sustainable future for the Chinese Language in Norfolk.
Stephen Plume – Principal, Iceni Academy
"This is a very exciting opportunity for the young people of West Norfolk. Not only will they get all the cultural enrichment that goes with a new language, they will also get the chance to study GCSE."

12 Movies That Were Actually Filmed In North Dakota
Rockin' Rick (Rick Rider)
Rockin' Rick (Rick Rider) Published: January 3, 2022
Scott Olson/Getty Images
Let's face it. North Dakota will never be a Hollywood hotbed for filming movies.
We are an acquired taste. Besides the obvious weather issues, (not many movies call for a winter scene) the logistics of transportation for film crews, and the fact that most people in Hollywierd think North Dakota is part of Canada. Not many movies have been moved in North Dakota over the years.
Still, with that being said, there has been a handful of movies filmed in the Rough Rider State. Let's start with the biggest one. The 1996 movie FARGO was a dark comedy and critically acclaimed. The movie received seven Oscar nominations and won two of them, including actress for Frances McDormand and Best Original Screenplay.
According to Wikipedia, the movie was produced and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. It starred Frances McDormand, William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi, and Peter Stormare. Most of the film was filmed in the Minneapolis area. However, some of the winter scenes were filmed in northeast North Dakota. Mostly by the city of Bathgate. They were basically following the snowline that spring to try and get some winter-like scenes. The movie Fargo did a casting call in Grand Forks for "extras" to be in the film. I was lucky enough to be chosen for a part but my employer at the time did not allow me the time off from work. Something I'm still kicking myself for today.
Here is the remainder of the 12 movies that were filmed in North Dakota.
Let's see how many of these movies you've actually heard of. To be honest, the only one I've heard of besides Fargo is Wooly Boys.
Buick Riveria
A Different American Dream
Flight of the Red Tail
Jesus Camp
The Overnighters

Mark Roonem is loving at Newcastle Vipers
HE is still getting used to the Geordie accent and wonders if he will ever get the hang of roundabouts, but Mark Roonem has seen enough of ice hockey's "softer" Elite League to believe Newcastle Vipers can win it.
Stuart Rayner
The 26-year-old Canadian is set to make his eighth appearance for the club in tonight's game at Belfast Giants.
Rooneem has come to Tyneside in search of new experiences and silverware, and tonight will test his chances of doing the latter.
Win at the Odyssey Arena and the Vipers can go third in the table by beating Nottingham Panthers at Whitley Bay tomorrow (6.30pm).
Rooneem said: "I really hope we do well this year.
"Hopefully we can win the league, that always looks good on everybody's part.
"If I can put up some good numbers too, that would be good.
"There are certain things we need to focus on, and if we do the little things right that are so important, we can win the league."
Replacing Todd Griffith has been a step into the unknown for Rooneem, who has hit the ground running with three goals and an assist.
He added: "To tell you the truth, I did not really know what to expect.
"I talked to Tejch (Jason Tejchma) and Mike Berry a little bit but I did not really know what to expect hockey-wise.
"I have been pleased with the play, it has been excellent.
"This is only my second time in Europe. I have been to Finland once on a hockey showcase but other than that just about all my career has been in North America.
"It is definitely different to what I am used to. I am used to a rougher style with more hitting and less time.
"Here I love the fact you have a lot of time and a lot of ice, depending what surface you are on.
"It is a little bit softer, but you can express your skills a bit more."
If that has made life easier for him on the ice, Rooneem admits there have been tricky moments off it.
He said: "I find it pretty tough to understand some people. There is a lot of fast talking.
"If people talk slowly I can understand exactly what they are saying.
"Driving on the other side of the road is crazy. I am yet to get my head around it.
"I am doing pretty well, but when I go downtown it is crazy for me.
"I am guessing I am doing everything wrong.
"The roundabouts – we have a few back home but they are called traffic circles.
"We do not have many and not too many people back home know what to do in that situation either.
"Those have probably been the two biggest differences.
"Everything else has been great. I love it here. The people are great, the fans are great, I love the food, there are a lot of things similar."
The Vipers look to make it two wins out of two against Belfast this month, with two more meetings to come before the New Year.


For some organisations, a UPS system provides sufficient power protection to meet their needs. A UPS shields the critical load against mains-borne power disturbances and short-term blackouts but a UPS alone is simply not designed to manage extended outages. As a result, in a prolonged blackout situation, where a loss of ICT resource cannot be tolerated, a generator becomes necessary to support the UPS and establish a seamless end-to-end solution.
In this article, Alan Luscombe, director at Kohler Uninterruptible Power Ltd., a Kohler company, considers the options for generator and UPS protection.
Organisations of all sizes must provide their critical ICT equipment with protected, clean power 24/7. Problems including electrical transients, sags, and short-term blackouts can arise at any time; additionally, longer-term blackouts, although comparatively infrequent in the UK, remain a real possibility. In fact, 95% of all mains disturbances last less than five minutes, while anything longer is likely to last for several hours.
In countering these threats, facilities managers naturally favour power protection strategies that manage the perceived risks and system criticality, while avoiding excessive capital and operating costs. Achieving the right balance for any individual UPS installation depends on two key decisions: Firstly, whether to settle for a UPS system alone or extend protection to include a standby generator system, and secondly, which UPS topology to choose.
All installations need at least a UPS because those with the right topology continuously filter out the above-mentioned electrical aberrations before they can damage the ICT hardware, disrupt service, or destroy data. The UPS's battery will even carry the load through a short-term power blackout of maybe a few minutes, or longer with extra battery capacity. However, an extended blackout long will exceed any UPS battery autonomy, no matter how extended.
In some applications, this may not matter. If the UPS detects a power failure of excessive duration, it can alert the critical load to initiate a graceful shutdown with the remaining battery power. No equipment is damaged and no data is lost. If the organisation can tolerate operating without its data processing resource until mains power is restored, the UPS alone is enough.
Nowadays, however, the majority of enterprises rely on almost constant online interactions with their staff or customers, so any interruption in ICT availability is unacceptable. For these, the solution augments the UPS system with an on-site standby generator. If the mains fails, the UPS inverter seamlessly transfers to battery supply; then, if the mains is not restored within a preset timeframe, the UPS sends an automatic mains failure (AMF) signal to the generator. The remaining battery time is enough for the generator to start up, stabilise and begin feeding the UPS system. Power delivery to the load has not been interrupted during any part of the mains failure and can continue indefinitely, provided sufficient generator fuel is available.
Any chosen backup generator must be compatible with the UPS and set up correctly for the application. The generator supplier should be aware of its product's intended use, and thorough testing during commissioning is essential. The generator should have an electronic speed governor to ensure that its alternator operates within the tight frequency limits essential to the UPS and its load. Its design and size should accommodate step load increases, although a better approach is to ensure the UPS system has 'soft start' capability, to limit the magnitude of the load step.
UPS systems are available with either on-line or off-line topology, and the choice between these is highly significant for power protection. In an on-line UPS type, utility mains power passes through the rectifier and inverter power conversion components before reaching the load during normal operation. This mode filters out mains-borne power disturbances and delivers closely-regulated power at all times. Additionally, there is no load break during transfers to or from battery power.
By contrast, an off-line UPS passes power directly from the incoming mains to the load during normal operation. UPS output voltage has low regulation, while the load is exposed to any fault appearing on the mains supply. Additionally, there will be a power break of 2 to 10 ms whenever the static switch transfers the load between the bypass line and the inverter's output.
Given these disadvantages, off-line UPSs are only viable for a limited number of applications; those where the operators have sufficient confidence in the quality of their mains power supply or the resilience of their critical load. The off-line UPS system's attraction lies in their lower associated pricing; capital expenditure is reduced because component costs are less, and, as the power does not flow through the inverter or rectifier during normal operation, operating efficiency losses are mostly eliminated.
However, most operators responsible for keeping critical loads up and running, regard the exposure to mains problems as unacceptable, irrespective of any capex or opex savings that may be available. Accordingly, on-line topology UPSs remain the preferred choice for mission-critical applications.
Critical and sensitive ICT loads face two threat types from the utility mains supply; everyday disturbances and short-term blackouts, and the rarer occurrence of longer-term blackouts. For organisations that can accept a period without a data processing resource, UPS protection alone may be sufficient. However, when real-time online transaction processing is involved, a generator becomes an essential complement to the UPS system.
This article has highlighted the considerations to bear in mind when establishing a suitable power protection strategy for your installation, and fulfilling it with the best possible UPS and generator components.

History has failed us, but no matter.
Yes, a much better start for the new reading year than Acceptance. Much better than any recent books, and it's January 24th. Anyway, Pachinko was lauded and I'm glad it didn't disappoint me.
It's a family epic of a Korean family, starting in 1910. Generation after generation takes you past living in poverty, living in a colonised country, war, prosperity and loss. There's born family and created family and all the other connections that happen in society.
Sounds terribly vague? Simply because this is a book you should allow to overwhelm you, instead of going in with any expectations. "Meh", you think, "a soap opera spread through time", but that's an insult. Pachinko is history, humanity, entertainment and mind boggling (the things I didn't know as a white woman). Oh, and the descriptions of food might make you drool a little.
Pachinko is nominated for the American award 'National Book Award for Fiction'. It has my vote.

The Collaborator
Captain Kadian takes a large swig from his glass tumbler, closes his eyes for a moment, smacks his lips and says, 'The job's not that hard, you see, you just go down once a week or fifteen days, and the money, the money is not bad at all.'
I really wanted to like this. Looking back a few days later, I appreciate the story and the story telling, but while reading it, it couldn't hold my focus.
The story is about the nineties war in Kashmir, and the young man left behind to take care of the remains. Literally. Where others have left to fight (for India/against India), the headman's son has the job of taking identity cards from dead bodies. He feels left behind, he feels like a failure, he lives in less than a ghost town.
So what was it that didn't click with me? Maybe the endless dreariness, the weight of everything going on. It's not like the prose is dull, uninspired or repetitive, but it does push you into the tightening corner of the main character's despair.
Maybe I simply read it after the wrong book, maybe I just couldn't handle the story.

Do Not Say We Have Nothing
In a single year, my father left us twice.
This was work. I don't know how I managed to read two similarly build up novels (the other one being Disappearing Moon Cafe), but this one was the tougher of the two. Maybe because the comparison material was so recent. Both left me wondering how I'd like something contemporary written by an Asian actor.
Anyway, time moves every way but chronologically in Do Not Say We Have Nothing. Keep your head with you, because there's a lot of characters going through a lot of things. The most brutal one, probably Mao's 'Cultural Revolution' and the horrors of Tiananmen Square.
These aren't light, bright stories. There seems to be no end to what a family can be put through, and the small, mythology-like side steps only make the difference starker. How did anyone come out alive?
It's a novel to take in in small doses, to learn and see through another set of goggles.

Preparation for the Next Life
She came by way of Archer, Bridgeport, Nanuet, worked off 95 in jeans and a denim jacket, carrying a plastic bag and shower shoes, a phone number, waiting beneath an underpass, the potato chips long gone.
It took me four days after finishing this before I felt like I could shape an opinion about this story. At first I was just hugely relieved that I was done.
This novel is closer to a news bulletin, a history story or a sociological essay. This isn't entertainment or escape, it's too brutal and slogging, the number of light and happy moments much too little.
So why would you? How many people pick a book that will darken their day considerably? As with non-fiction: to know. To remember that there is a world outside the familiar one. And in Zou's path there can be find a little spark of motivation, while Skinner's fall just shows the urgency of supporting veterans mentally. With my previous reads of De Gele Vogels and Terug naar normaal this month's themes turn out to be mental health and war.
I agree with other reviews that the addition of a certain character is unnecessary, and his chapters could be skipped. They just add more violence, despair, and lack of reasons for existence.

The number of musical movies I like could be counted on one hand, but sometimes other people's enthusiasm overrides habit. I had the day off and nowhere to go (why is everything closed on Good Friday?) so why not try this?
'This' is Across The Universe, a musical with The Beatles songs against a backdrop of the Vietnam war and protests. There's Jude who leaves Liverpool for a better life (in the USA), there's Lucy who learns more about the world in one summer than her years at school. Connecting factor is Max (her brother, his friend) and a selection of colourful characters that have their own message for that time and over that subject.
The soundtrack makes things very easy to like, but the main three characters add bundles of chemistry and appeal as well, making the entire package bright and enjoyable. Yes, I'm an ATU enthusiast now as well. The movie can be found on (Canadian) Netflix.

Eleven Days
The United States Navy SEALs came out of the Teams that served in Vietnam; they in turn came out of the Navy Seabees, the Scouts and Raiders, and the Underwater Demolition Teams used during World War II.
'What happens to those that are left behind?' is regularly asked when military families are the subject. In case of Eleven Days, the question applies to both sides. It's not only the mother getting left behind by her son and his father, it's the son being left behind by her, his father, and the possibilities of ordinary life.
Sara and Jason aren't a conventional mother and son and their relationship is similar. That doesn't mean that when she gets the news of him being missed, she deals with it any differently than anyone missing a loved one. This mother just has a large safety net made by neighbors, military men and her son's godfathers to catch her.
The novel tells not only Sara's story, but also Jason's. His need to become a part of the American army, his silent suffering because he never knew his father, the feelings of finally belonging somewhere when he finds his place in his team. Him ending up missing is almost a side plot, this is about war and peace, wrong and right, family you're born with and family you create yourself.
It's not a happy story, and it takes a bit of work to get through it, but if you want to ponder these subjects, I'd tell you to give this a chance.

John Jacob Ford's morning began at 3:03 with a call from Paul Geezler, Advisor to the Division Chief, Europe, for HOSCO International.
Maybe 'epic' is the right word for this. With 1000 pages spanning continents, characters, genres and different kinds of media, it certainly aims high. It's a shame about the sloppy editing from time to time, creating mistakes like missing words or typos. Yet in a way ..it adds to the thrill. The meta feeling of reading a book about a book while being part of every level of the story. Like Richard House had to put it down in a hurry, running around like the people in The Kills.
So what is the story? What are the four stories, combined in this one, huge, creation? It's about the Middle East, intervening and building there. It's about a multinational company that doesn't seem to do anything else besides making sure that the right men and material arrive at the necessary spot, wherever it is. It's about a man who sheds identities like dandruff but seems to be unsure about who he was originally. It's about a thriller that was fictional, but gets a real life following, resulting in a mess with prostitutes and tourists. It's about desert roads that are only being build to launder money, it's about cats that are being killed. It's about a lot.
As with every series, there are better and lesser books. In the first two books the connections are very clear, the backgrounds and surroundings similar. Book 3 goes completely off that grind (I still don't know its place) and book 4 doesn't neatly tie up every plot line either. And yet, it's an easy accessible world. To read feels to passively participate, even though there are very little clues to cling to. Take you time for The Kills. It might as well turn out to be an exciting adventure.

Some people may call it networking, but I like the term "building a community." It's more than just shaking hands, exchanging business cards, and adding names to a database (or the old-fashioned rolodex, see picture at left). It's about building actual connections with people and then staying in touch through multiple mediums (social media, email, phone, or snail mail) or just good old face-to-face interactions.
So here are a few tips on building your community.
Engage them: On meeting someone you already know, think of some piece of information about them – they have two kids, or they really like soccer, if they like to cook or travel, or maybe a shared acquaintance. Something you can use to engage them in further discussion.
More is better: The bigger your network, the more people you know. That may seem trite, but really the more people you know, even if only slightly, it's that many more extended connections. (It's like that 70s shampoo commercial – "and she told two friends… and so on.") Try to attend one networking event per week to grow your community.
Be patient: You never know when connections are going to bear fruit. When I first started my proofreading/editing business, I reached out to several people I knew who worked in similar areas to find out how they had been successful. Several of those connections have led to actual projects, but it took a year for that to pan out.
Volunteer your time: I regularly volunteer my time and energy with groups that interest me – primarily the Golden Link Folk Singing Society and Rochester Professional Consultants Network. So in addition to getting to play music (in the first case) and learning from interesting business people (in the second), I'm also expanding the network of people who know me.

If you've been a runner for any length of time, chances are that some finger-wagging Cassandra has warned you that your running is going to ruin your knees.
I've acknowledged these warnings in the past by telling said finger-wagger that I love running so much that I was happy to live with the risk --- but now I have a new, more effective comeback: scientific data.
A study published recently in the Journal of Preventive Medicine, conducted at the Stanford University School of Medicine has demonstrated that "Long-distance running among healthy older individuals was not associated with accelerated osteoarthritis," and in fact, some data in the survey suggests that runners might actually have a lower risk of developing arthritis in their knees and hips, though the specific study sample was too small to prove in a statistically significant way that running had a protective effect.
The best news of all is, this study isn't alone in dispelling the notion that running destroys people's knees. A 2006 study of runners, conducted by the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and published in the Journal of American Osteopathic Association, concluded: "It appears that long-distance running does not increase the risk of osteoarthritis of the knees and hips for healthy people who have no other counterindications for this kind of physical activity. Long-distance running might even have a protective effect against joint degeneration."
Even back in 1990, a study in Denmark, published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine, came to the same conclusion: "A lifetime of long distance running at mileage levels comparable to those of recreational runners today is not associated with premature osteoarthrosis in the joints of the lower extremities." And these are but a few of the many studies I came across today as I perused the bibliographies of these three -- all of them concluding that running doesn't cause arthritis, and might in fact be healthy for the connective tissues in your joints that could otherwise develop arthritis as you age.
So run on, my friends, and long may you run.


The Pituitary Surgery Service at the WSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital is committed to providing the very best surgical care for your dog or cat.
WSU is currently the only veterinary hospital in the country performing transsphenoidal hypophysectomy, a surgery used in the treatment of pituitary tumors and other masses near the pituitary gland. The most common pituitary tumor in dogs is a functional pituitary mass that causes Cushing's disease. For cats, the most common pituitary tumor is a functional mass that causes acromegaly, where the pituitary produces too much growth hormone. Dr. Owen has performed transsphenoidal hypophysectomy surgeries on nearly 60 animals over the last five years. She was the first veterinarian in the United States to perform this surgery, initially at VCA West Los Angeles Animal Hospital under the guidance of Adam Mamelak, MD from Cedars Sinai Medical Center, a renowned neurosurgeon and expert on transsphenoidal hypophysectomy.
Our board certified team, led by pituitary surgical specialist Dr. Tina Owen, includes neurologist Dr. Annie Chen-Allen and critical care specialist Dr. Linda Martin. The team also includes neurology residents and veterinary technicians specializing in surgery, neurology, anesthesia and critical care. We work collaboratively with board certified veterinarians specializing in internal medicine, radiology, and anesthesia to be able to offer our patients the best treatment options.
You will need a referral from your veterinarian to schedule an initial consultation visit with a member of our team.
Non-emergency appointments may be scheduled by calling 509-335-0711 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
A member of our surgery team is available 24 hours a day to consult with referring veterinarians in emergency situations.


The management and best treatment options for Neurological and Orthopaedic disease are constantly changing. Participants in these sessions will learn about a variety of Neurological, Orthopaedic and Spine related management and treatment options. Upon conclusion of the sessions the learner will have a better understanding of how to address diseases and conditions like degenerative disc disease, stroke, osteoarthritis and various types of carcinoma. In addition, the learner will be able to better determine whether treatment options presented are appropriate and when they should be used or recommended.
Speakers are listed in the planned presentation order. All information is subject to change.
Does Cervical Fusion with 0 Profile Cage System (LDR) Decrease Rate of Adjacent Level Disease?
What Is New In Gliomas Surgery?
In this special lecture recent advances in stem cell and regeneration medicine will be discussed with a focus on the prospects for effective regenerative therapies for heart failure and myocardial infarction. Participants will increase their awareness and improve their knowledge of advances in regenerative therapies for heart failure and myocardial infarction.
Regenerating the Broken Heart: Hope or Hype?
The profession of surgery requires more knowledge than just how to function in the operating room and perform the surgical procedure at hand. If you are in private practice and even if you are not, the business aspect of surgery is always changing. All doctors and especially surgeons are faced with issues such as contracts, employee matters, and complicated tax concerns; the result, an ever increasing amount of stress. Participants in this session, focused on non-surgical topics that can have an impact on patient care if not addressed correctly, will learn about how to effectively address assorted business management and tax related topics as well as how to deal with stress to prevent burnout and stress-driven diseases.
This session offers a review of various aspects of trauma related surgical issues including: Rupture Due to Blunt Trauma, Damage Control Surgery and Iatrogenic Brachial Plexus Injury. In addition, a historical retrospective will be provided by a renowned leader in the field. Participants in this course will increase their knowledge of the topics presented to provide improved patient care and also learn about important developments that have changed the specialty over the years.
Vaccination of health care professionals has recently grabbed the attention of public health officials and much of the public. However, many health care workers resist vaccination. Nationwide, fewer than half receive vaccines each year for the more common seasonal flu. To achieve high r vaccination rates, a more aggressive approach is needed than simply informing health care workers and hoping they will receive vaccines on their own. Attendees will hear from an infectious disease expert about the pros and cons surrounding this highly debated topic and will be given an opportunity to discuss their views and provide personal examples of their experience in this interactive session. Upon completion of this session learners will have a better understanding of the issues surrounding this controversial topic.
A founding principle of ICS is to participate in humanitarian activities and attempt to provide surgical care to those in areas where it is not readily available. Historically, surgery has not been considered a health priority due to the inaccurate perception that high cost interventions benefit only a limited proportion of the population. Surgical care for approximately 2 billion people around the world is under-prioritized and underfunded. Recently the WHO's World Health Assembly Executive Board passed a resolution that seeks to strengthen emergency and essential surgical care around the world. This session will include presentations from members of the ICS who will provide firsthand accounts of what is needed and how it can be provided. In addition, an update will be presented pertaining to WHO activities addressing this global health crisis. Participants will learn what has been done and what they can do to improve patient care for all citizens of the world.

Inquiry for The Complete Muhammad Ali
"a must-read." PBS/Book View Now
"…it will become the truly definitive book on Muhammad Ali." Professor Sam Hamod, PhD
"twelve solid rounds of writing… stands above its competition." Ron Jacobs, Counterpunch
More than a biography and 'bigger than boxing', The Complete Muhammad Ali is a fascinating portrait of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first. Ishmael Reed calls it The Complete Muhammad Ali because most of the hundred odd books about the Champion are "either too adoring or make excessively negative assertions." They also omit many voices that deserve to be heard.
Ishmael Reed charts Muhammad Ali's evolution from Black Nationalism to universalism, but gives due credit to the Nation's of Islam's and Black Nationalism's important influence on Ali's intellectual development. People who led these organizations are given a chance to speak up. Sam X, who introduced Ali to the Nation of Islam, said that without his mentor Elijah Muhammad, nobody would ever have heard of Ali. That remark cannot be ignored.
Reed, an accomplished poet, novelist, essayist and playwright, casts his inquisitive eye on a man who came to represent the aspirations of so many people worldwide and so many causes. He also brings to bear his own experience as an African American public figure, born in the South in the same period, as well as an encyclopaedic grasp of American history.
People interviewed include Marvin X, Harry Belafonte, Hugh Masakela, Jack Newfield, Ed Hughes, Emmanuel Steward, Amiri Baraka, Agieb Bilal, Emil Guillermo, Khalilah Ali, Quincy Troupe, Rahaman Ali, Melvin Van Peebles, Ray Robinson, Jr., Ed Hughes, Jesse Jackson, Martin Wyatt, Bennett Johnson, Stanley Crouch, Bobby Seale, and many more.
Reed also places the Muhammad Ali phenomenon in the history of boxing and boxers from before the times of Jack Johnson, through Joe Louis and Archie Moore to Floyd Mayweather. He also includes Canadian fights and fighters like Tommy Burns, George Chuvalo and Yvon Durelle.
"The Heavyweight Championship of the World," wrote Reed in a 1976 Village Voice headline article shortly after third Ali-Norton fight, "is a sex show, a fashion show, scene of intrigue between different religions, politics, classes; a gathering of stars, ex-stars, their hangers-on, and hangers-on assistants."
The author of the much cited Writin' is Fightin' has now produced what will likely be known not only as The Complete Muhammad Ali but also "the definitive Muhammad Ali."
"In The Complete Muhammad Ali, Ishmael Reed reveals fresh information and dozens of new ideas about a subject whose meaning has become increasingly difficult to tap. This book is definitely worth your time." — Michael Ezra, author, Muhammad Ali: The Making of an Icon
"The pre-eminent African American novelist, essayist, and poet Ishmael Reed's latest book, The Complete Muhammad Ali, stands as one of Reed's most important projects to date . . . if you want to engage with the spirit of the man [Ali] in his time, and get punched by the prose of one of our greatest living writers, The Complete Muhammad Ali is the book for you." —Brian Flota, thehairsplitter.com
"This expansive masterpiece . . . There are so many new revelations about Elijah Muhammad, Muhammad Ali, the Nation of Islam, and Black Nationalism to praise The Complete Muhammad Ali about. Suffice it to say that Reed's book is a masterful contribution to our understanding and appreciation of the legacy of Muhammad Ali, Elijah Muhammad, the Nation of Islam, Black Nationalism, and what it means to be a black athlete or sports person in America." — Pierre-Damien Mvuyekure, Professor, Northern Iowa University. Counterpunch
"Muhammad Ali was a one man Boxer Rebellion, the fighter who did the rare thing of changing minds and hearts by challenging racism and empire at the risk of fame and fortune. Like Haley's Comet, such a person doesn't come around often, people everywhere felt better knowing he was there. So who is he really? You got to read Ishmael Reed's The Complete Muhammad Ali to get an idea. Ishmael is a veteran fighter/writer, with success in several divisions (poetry, novels, music) and more likely to get it right than the corporate journalists or established fight crowd. Reed is like the journeyman champ Archie Moore: cagey, unorthodox, able to land a punch from unexpected directions. Insights from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Willie Pep, Miles Davis, and the man who first sold Ali Muhammad Speaks. This is the book that answers the questions about 'the Greatest'." — Phil Taylor, The Taylor Report, CIUT, Toronto
"great book, a lot of hard work, and I know that it will become the truly definitive book on Muhammad Ali." — Professor Sam Hamod, PhD; Former Director of The Islamic Center, Washington, DC
Ishmael Reed is a prize-winning essayist, novelist, poet and playwright. He taught at the University of California-Berkeley for thirty-five years, as well as at Harvard, Yale and Dartmouth. Author of more than twenty-five books, he is a member of Harvard's Signet Society and Yale's Calhoun Society. He lives in Oakland, California.

If you needed an organ, would you take one?
Posted by d-sencier@hotmail.co.uk on March 17, 2018, 5 p.m.
The first UK-wide multimedia campaign to promote organ donation. While 96% of us would accept an organ if we needed one, only 27% of us have the joined the NHS Organ Donor Register (ODR). Many of us (45%) have the best intentions to sign up to the ODR and commit to donate our organs for transplantation after our death, but just havent got round to it. While some people are still unclear about how to register, a significant proportion of us (17%) are ready to act now. A further 19% need to involve their family in the decision. Research also shows a disparity between those who think theyve already signed up to be an organ donor 35% as compared with the actual figure of 27% (16.5 million) on the ODR. The campaign aims to increase significantly the number of people on the ODR, asking what we would do if someone we love needed an organ: if we would accept an organ, shouldn't we be prepared to give one? Subscribe To "NHS Organ Donation" Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/2hyR4mG Like "NHS Organ Donation" on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/2gvlFfU Follow "NHS Organ Donation" on Twitter HERE: http://bit.ly/2hhAzKO --- Every day across the UK, around three people who could have benefited from a transplant die because there aren't enough organ donors. And currently around 6,500 people are on the waiting list for a transplant. Yet, of the approximately half a million people who die each year across the UK, only around 1% (5,603) die in circumstances where their organs could be donated. Start a conversation today and help turn an end into a beginning. Join the NHS Organ Donor Register and make sure you tell your friends and family your decision.
